I have to admit, I read this a bunch of times and I cannot for the life of me figure out what you are trying to say. Either:
1. The people who are loyal to Marriott no matter what don't matter to Marriott
2. Or those people who were loyal and who threaten to leave deserve to be treated better because, well DYKWIA.
If marriott was so worried about number two they would have had better promotions for the last few years. When was the last good one? I think it was the spring before this bonvoy thing happened. Sure, they want to stay full and make money - but apparently the DYKWIA types aren't going to get special treatment.
I know they read these boards and I am hopeful they get the message that those of us who continued to travel in the first quarter in spite of the virus are watching what they do too.
